Summit
The Present Value of the Future Summit is a strictly invitation-only, closed-door event designed for patient investors with a long-term mindset—a unique opportunity to learn and share with some of the most thoughtful minds in the field.
What Sets This Summit Apart?
No Sponsors, No Panels: Unlike other events such as SuperReturn, our summit is free from sponsorships and panel discussions, ensuring an environment focused purely on deep, meaningful exchange.
Confidential and Exclusive: We do not publicly announce attendees. While you can expect to meet prominent thought leaders, we believe every participant brings extraordinary value—so the conversation is always at the highest level.
Intimate Learning Experience: The summit is structured for maximum engagement. Expect 6–7 sessions throughout the day, each featuring a 20-minute expert presentation followed by 40 minutes of small group discussion (6 people per group). Your discussion partners will change between morning and afternoon, allowing you to connect and exchange ideas with a diverse set of peers.

Our participants include founders who have built multibillion-dollar businesses, investment managers overseeing the largest and best-performing investment strategies in the region, as well as smart and promising young investors who bring fresh perspectives. This unique blend ensures a dynamic, multi-generational dialogue that enriches every conversation.
Since 2024, we have organized three summits with 143 participants from 11 countries.

Venue
Address: Sheen Pavilion, No. 2, 1-4, Lane 28, Binjiang Avenue, Pudong, Shanghai
The Sheen Pavilion's history traces back to a historic building of the Asiatic Petroleum Company—a joint venture between British "Shell Transport" and "Royal Dutch" backed by the Rothschild Family in 1907. Through its hundred-year history, this landmark has witnessed both Shanghai's transformation and the passage of time.
